It is all seventeen-year-old Jacob knows. Beyond the fence lies the World, a wicked, terrible place, doomed to destruction. When the Archangel Zerachiel descends from Heaven, only the Grace will be spared the horrors of the Apocalypse. But something is rotten in paradise. A wolf invades Nodd, slaughtering the Grace&#8217;s sheep. A new boy arrives from outside, and his scorn and disdain threaten to tarnish Jacob&#8217;s contentment. Then, while patrolling the borders of Nodd, Jacob meets Lynna, a girl from the adjoining ranch, who tempts him to sample the forbidden Worldly pleasures that lie beyond the fence. Jacob&#8217;s faith, his devotion, and his grip on reality are tested as his feelings for Lynna blossom into something greater and the End Days grow ever closer. <i>Eden West</i> is the story of two worlds, two hearts, the power of faith, and the resilience of the human spirit.</p><br clear="all">2015-04-14T00:30:00-05:00Shredder by Niall Leonardhttp://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780385743655

A guitar. Punk rock. The chords of a rock 'n' roll road trip in a coming-of-age novel that is a must-read story about finding your place in the world...even if you carry scars inside and out. <br><br>In attempting to describe himself in his college application essay--<i>help us to become acquainted with you beyond your courses, grades, and test scores</i>--Harbinger (Harry) Jones goes way beyond the 250-word limit and gives a full account of his life. <br><br>The first defining moment: the day the neighborhood goons tied him to a tree during a lightning storm when he was 8 years old, and the tree was struck and caught fire. Harry was badly burned and has had to live with the physical and emotional scars, reactions from strangers, bullying, and loneliness that instantly became his everyday reality. <br><br>The second defining moment: the day in 8th grade when the handsome, charismatic Johnny rescued him from the bullies and then made the startling suggestion that they start a band together. Harry discovered that playing music transported him out of his nightmare of a world, and he finally had something that compelled people to look beyond his physical appearance. Harry's description of his life in his essay is both humorous and heart-wrenching. He had a steeper road to climb than the average kid, but he ends up learning something about personal power, friendship, first love, and how to fit in the world. While he's looking back at the moments that have shaped his life, most of this story takes place while Harry is in high school and the summer after he graduates.<br><br><i>Also available in hardcover (ISBN 978-1-60684-439-7) and electronic book format (ISBN 978-1-60684-440-3)</i></p><br clear="all">2015-04-07T00:30:00-05:00Half Wild by Carl Prekopphttp://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9781101891063

On the one hand, he craves the freedom he feels when he steals away with the eccentric girl artist next door, Holly Stroud&#8212;his first and abiding love&#8212;to balance above the earth on a makeshift tightrope. With Holly, Dom dreams of a life different in every way from his shipbuilder dad&#8217;s, a life fashioned of words and images and story. On the other hand, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to the brutal charms of Vincent McAlinden, a complex bully who awakens something wild and reckless and killing in Dom. In a raw and beautifully crafted bildungsroman,<i> </i>David Almond reveals the rich inner world of a boy teetering on the edge of manhood, a boy so curious and open to impulse that we fear for him and question his balance&#8212;and ultimately exult in his triumphs.</p><br clear="all">2015-03-24T00:30:00-05:00Tagged by Diane C.
